The Grand LV was the perfect fit for us. We were looking for a venue that we could have our ceremony and reception in separate spaces. There is a magnificent bridal suite for the morning of, we also wanted to ensure that there was a grooms room. With the venues we toured, these 3 things were not a priority. With The Grand LV, it was. We also had freedom to make the space our own. It is beautiful as it is, so it did not need much help, but we had the autonomy to do so. We also were able to have our wedding our way. We could be in the day before to set up, we had choice in who we wanted as a caterer. It was so freeing to be able to make all of these decisions. Our guests loved the venue, stated it was so beautiful and unique. I could not recommend The Grand LV enough. It was the perfect place to start our lives together.

I picked this location because of how beautiful the landscape is. So many different spots on the property to get married on, all beautiful. Different locations cost different price. Overall, relatively cheap compared to other venues. When talking to them, I first started with one wedding coordinator. She left and was informed about the new coordinator. She introduced herself and thought she was awesome. She was very tentative to all the details and was very helpful. I wasn’t informed that she had left and a new coordinator had taken her spot. I didn’t know there was a new coordinator until the day before the wedding. She didn’t take charge of anything. She took a back seat to everything. Told her I had a specific song I wanted to play for walking down the aisle. There wasn’t any sort practice with the song at the rehearsal. She couldn’t figure out how to connect my phone to the sound system. She couldn’t figure out how to navigate the song that I had already pulled up on my phone.
